Moscow raceway targets MotoGP standard

Moscow, Aug 23 (IANS/RIA Novosti) Russia’s first international-standard racetrack will be extended and modified in a project to make the circuit suitable for hosting a MotoGP round, circuit manager Ekaterina Beltsevich said Wednesday.

The track, which hosted its first race meeting last month, is certified B by the International Motorcyling Federation (FIM), but an upgrade to category A would allow the circuit to host MotoGP, motorbike racing’s premier category.
